The Guildmasters

Hi all,

Yep, I started White Knight Chronicles, this time it is going to be a total solo run for me, it’s actually quite a different feeling playing it alone, I would say it’s more relaxing, especially when running quests. Before I always had a feeling of having to do things a specific way because you were either relying on others or others were relying on you. This time I can take my time, do things exactly the way I want to do them and it’s like playing a totally different game.

I surprised myself when running my first couple of quests, I really missed playing this game. For those who have never played it, it is a very fun game, it’s probably more fun playing online with others, but I’ve done that before, played it for around two years and I never got bored with it. I actually stopped playing it before because most of my friends I was playing with moved on to the second one, which came out 6 months later over here.

Anyway, I’ve managed to reach guild rank 3, which isn’t bad seeing as I’ve only played for about 10 hours in total so far. I’ve got three S rank quests and am level 23, and I’m totally having fun, it does feel more relaxing this time around.  I’m going to experiment a lot more this time, trying out the other weapons I didn’t use before, like the Axe, Shortsword, and Mage. Eventually, my last build will be Spear and Bow user which is what I ended up as before, it’s probably the best combination, especially when trying to solo.

Most of the quests have already unlocked and that’s probably due to the fact that the servers are going offline in a couple of weeks so I won’t have to buy too many. My biggest worry is going to be the 50 S rank quests and binding 450 items. I think the binding trophy shouldn’t be a problem and I believe there are enough quests for me to solo 50 S ranks but it may be tough.  The time limit ones will be the most difficult, especially the ones where you have to run all over the place before 3 of us would split up and make the time limit for the S rank.

Anyway, that is all for today’s post, so I’ll update here as I go along, I have heard people say it’s possible to solo platinum this game but never actually met anyone who has done that, I will try and prove it and update each guild rank as I go along.

Hi all,

Not too bad, took me four full play through’s to get the platinum, yes, it should have only taken me two, but I enjoyed it so much I didn’t care too much, I harvested one too many little sisters so had to go through a fourth time, had a great time with it (again) and got me another platinum trophy, that’s 5 now, almost level 9.

Got Hitman: Absolution on its way so will be playing that one soon, also started playing Resident Evil 6 and am quite surprised at how much fun it is, trophy hunting in a big way at the moment and enjoying myself at the same time, can’t be bad. Won’t be getting any more games after Hitman due to I really really really want to play The Last of Us so am hoping to finish all my games by 7th May so I can take my time on that one, maybe even make some more videos.

That’s all for now, hope you all are having fun with whatever games you are playing, happy gaming.

Hi all,

After playing Skyrim under my new trophy account (not so new anymore,lol) I got all the trophies apart from the Oblivion Walker where you have to acquire 15 daedric artifacts, this was a bit annoying as I did manage to get the daedric staff ( can’t remember what it’s called ) where you don’t destroy the skull but kill the guy trying to destroy it. After acquiring the staff I put it in my Breezehome in Whiterun so it wouldn’t disappear on me. Well, it did. It also did the same thing on one of the swords, so what I have to do now is start the game over.

This time around I will keep all daedric artifacts on my person, this way there is no way they should disappear on me.  It’s a disappointing glitch but at least I get another excuse to play it over again, I do love this game. Still waiting to get enough money spare to buy the download content for this too.

Next game coming in the mail is Borderlands as my original copy broke so i’ll probably play that amongst all the other games I plan on getting the platinums for.  Not much else happing, just enjoying being Dragonborn again, lol.  Happy gaming.

Hi all,

I finally got the platinum for Sleeping Dogs, a great fun game, took me a couple of days longer than expected due to me missing two random events which the only way to find them was to drive constantly around town until they showed up, I got em though, lol.

I’ve now decided to go back to an old favorite, White Knight Chronicles.  This may sound crazy, but I’m going to try and solo platinum this one as the servers are going offline in two weeks, I have got the platinum for this one on another account and I actually played the game for about two years when it first came out.  Since creating this other account it gives me a chance to play it again, it’s one of my favorite games.

I’m already about halfway through the storyline, although the platinum is probably going to take me around 1,000 hours as I’m soloing. This is not one of those games that I will play constantly though, it’s a great game for taking a break from all the others and I will play it off and on while playing other games. Already have 3 trophies, but the rest will take forever, lol.  It has been a very underrated game and it was a shame that more people didn’t get into it. The few that did really did get into it and some of the players were, like myself and continued playing for well over a year or two, even after getting the platinum.

This was mostly due to the way the online was laid out, it was very fun to meet up in each other’s rooms, many just met up there to just chat and have a laugh, some ran quests, some helped each other out getting materials for upgrading, it was a really fun place. This time around, for me, will be different as I’m going solo and it won’t be the same, I really enjoyed playing with many friends on there.

Will update as I go along, my trophies also register on Facebook as I get them, that is if the account is still active all this time,  so anyone can see what I’m playing at any given time. Happy gaming.

Well it’s been a while since i’ve really been playing games like I was, mainly due to the fact i’ve been snowed under with offline stuff, work etc…

Now i’m starting to catch up on some games but the trouble is i’ve got so many now it’s hard to spend any length of time on one particular game.

I usually don’t have this problem because when I get two or three games most times only one is great while the others are not so good.

At this moment i’ve got Gran Turismo 5 which is mainly being played by two of my sons, racing games aren’t usually what I would go for but my boys are slowly but surely getting me involved in this one. I must admit it seems more realistic than any other racing game i’ve ever seen, though that’s not too many,lol.

Another game i’ve been trying to platinum is Dragon Age, yes I know it’s an old game but I only found out about it recently due to Dragon Age 2 coming out in March.

Another rental game I have is Two Worlds 2 which again seems really good although i’m only just past the prologue, i’m a little worried about this one as it could be huge which could in turn take up most of my gaming time.

Other games that I own and are close to being platinumed are Heavy Rain, Bioshock 2 and I was disappointed that I had to send Infamous back before I got the chance to platinum that, will get it again when I have more time though as I know I can plat that one, and it’s a pretty good game.

Since closing the forum to new members I will be posting here more often now. The forum isn’t completely closed but i’ve had to disable registration to stop the hundreds of bogus signups so if you want to join just send me an email.

Basically now i’ll be using the forum to post about other games that i’m playing and trying to post useful info on each one. Once WKC 2 gets out then i’ll probably open it up again to the public.

Well in between playing WKC i’ve been playing my latest rental game which is Uncharted 2, was doing really well until I messed up on crushing mode.

Started the game on crushing but when I stopped playing and then played another day I must have reloaded the hard mode so only have the first 10 chapters completed on crushing, kind of mad about that so now have to replay from chapter 11.

Not too worried as it is a good game, just a shame I wasted probably a day and a half playing hard mode when I thought I was playing crushing, lol.

Have all offline trophies apart from 2, need two more treasures for the 100% and the crushing mode for completion of offline trophies.

Still waiting for some help on one trophy that I can’t get even though I know where it is.

Went on WKC a couple of times but not many playing and the few friends I did see on were either in full rooms or not showing so hope to catch more of you this coming week if your still playing.

Tony:)

It’s 1:30pm in the afternoon and I just hit Platinum. A great feeling and sense of achievement indeed.

This has been a memorable one, the longest time i’ve ever spent getting a Platinum trophy and it was so nice to see it pop up on the screen.

From a personal point of view I don’t really have anything left to do but i’m not going to stop playing, the Plat was for me, now I have more time to do what others did for me and help players achieve their goals.

There are several weapons I still want but lost hope of getting those but I still might get lucky over the coming weeks, I would like to try my hand at tanking but just haven’t been able to pick up the spears, or I have the spear but can’t get the mats.

It doesn’t matter anymore though, i’m happy and it’s not just about me or my game plan anymore, even though I was helping others it was always in the back of my mind that “will I ever get that last trophy” now I don’t have to worry about it, it’s been a great game and i’m not done yet.

I actually feel a sense of relief now that I have the Plat, good feeling.

Tony:)

Ok still at GR 15 so I really need to be getting me that Platinum trophy soon. I’ve seen some players get their Plat at GR 13 and some claiming at GR 12.

So my game plan for the next two weeks is firstly to get my 10 mill trophy, this will then give me enough money to buy one coin of everything which in turn unlocks all armor in my shop, next step will be to bind as many items as I possibly can to acquire the 450 bind trophy, which in turn should net me the last trophy which I think is an amount of weapons or something like that, which in turn unlocks the Platinum.

After that I plan on experimenting more with the geo town, i’m going to acquire all 18 150K residents in one town and see if we can get even more rare items. At the moment I only have 9 150K residents and 9 free level 10 residents so i’m going to be experimenting a lot with the town once I hit Platinum.

In between all that lot i’ll be helping others as usual whenever I can. There may also be some big changes to this site before WKC 2 comes out as i’m messing around with some stuff for the site. I will tell more when I know exactly what i’ve decided to do.

If anyone wants to request a topic be posted let me know as I don’t want to post things that are already all over the internet, I like to get unique content and not duplicate what’s already been done so if there is something you can’t find online let me know and i’ll see what I can do. It could be a subquest that you really want to know about or if you find something that is a bit contradictory let me know and i’ll find the correct info for you.

Tony:)
